- * For every sub-segment the user mentions in the ASsembler program,
- * we make one struct frchain. Each sub-segment has exactly one struct frchain
- * and vice versa.
- *
- * Struct frchain's are forward chained (in ascending order of sub-segment
- * code number). The chain runs through frch_next of each subsegment.
- * This makes it hard to find a subsegment's frags
- * if programmer uses a lot of them. Most programs only use text0 and
- * data0, so they don't suffer. At least this way:
- * (1) There are no "arbitrary" restrictions on how many subsegments
- * can be programmed;
- * (2) Subsegments' frchain-s are (later) chained together in the order in
- * which they are emitted for object file viz text then data.
- *
- * From each struct frchain dangles a chain of struct frags. The frags
- * represent code fragments, for that sub-segment, forward chained.
